Yacht charter pricing in Greece can feel deliberately opaque. Hidden fees, surprise surcharges, and vague "subject to confirmation" clauses create anxiety where there should be excitement. At Meso Travel, we reject this industry standard entirely.

What Actually Determines Charter Costs?

Every Greek yacht charter comprises four mandatory components: the base charter fee, APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) at 30–35% covering fuel, provisions, and dockage, Greek VAT ranging from 5–24% depending on vessel registration, and crew fees if applicable. These aren't negotiable—they're structural to every charter in Greek waters.

What is variable: seasonal demand, vessel specifications, itinerary complexity, and optional enhancements like private chefs or water sports instructors.

Why We Don't Operate Like a Marketplace

Unlike aggregator platforms promising "lowest price guarantees," we curate partnerships with select operators whose standards align with ours. This means we cannot—and will not—engage in price competition that compromises service quality or transparency.

When we provide a quote, you receive complete cost breakdowns within 24 hours: base fee, APA calculated precisely, applicable VAT percentage, crew costs, and seasonal considerations. Optional services are itemized separately with transparent pricing.

No hidden fees. No contract-stage surprises. No asterisks.

We've built our reputation on a simple principle: honest pricing provides the confidence that transforms a significant investment into a clear decision. Our approach isn't transactional—it's relational. We'd rather decline a booking than win it through incomplete disclosure.
